I am surprised at (lack of) speed

Have you tried the chipset and BIOS drivers?

Maybe you should try doing a repair install if you think that's best. I personally think things run snappier in 7 than vista and my computer was built for vista. I don't know about startup, but my shutdown is faster than it ever has been.
